The 2013 Breast Cancer
Campaign gap analysis established breast cancer research priorities without a
specific focus on surgical research or the role of surgeons on breast cancer
research. This Review aims to identify opportunities and priorities for
research in breast surgery to complement the 2013 gap analysis. To identify
these goals, research-active breast surgeons met and identified areas for
breast surgery research that mapped to the patient pathway. Areas included
diagnosis, neoadjuvant treatment, surgery, adjuvant therapy, and attention to
special groups (eg, those receiving risk-reducing surgery).
